Editorial Reviews

Review

Security professionals in the field of investigative services need to wear many hats to be successful. This book is a fine start toward that end, as author Charles P. Nemeth presents a general picture of what a private investigator should learn, from personal abilities to office management. Especially worthwhile is the chapter on information collection, which would interest the novice and veteran investigator alike. As a primer for initiates into the world of investigation, the book is a success: it is clearly written, easily understood, and complete. - Security Management, July 2000

From the Publisher

The concepts are effectively presented with numerous forms, checklists and valuable guides that will help illustrate the investigative process both in the public and private sector.
